Former P.E.I. resident creates video song parody about cellular blackout

Published on August 7, 2017

Keith Muise, right, and Jon Myers appear in this screengrab from Muise's parody song video about the Atlantic Canada cellular service outage on Friday, Aug. 4. The video has been viewed on Facebook more than 240,000 times and shared nearly 6,300 times as of Monday.

Keith Muise is a special needs teacher from Newfoundland and Labrador who’s now working in Fort McMurray, Alta. He also spent six years studying in this province before graduating from the University of Prince Edward Island.

After he and his family had to evacuate from Fort McMurray during last year’s wildfires, Muise began a positivity group called 80s Summer Camp in hopes of cheering people up through funny posts, videos and music.

The creation of 80s Summer Camp was actually fast-tracked when Muise lost his father-in-law to cancer three days after the fires began in Fort McMurray.

Since then, the group has been gaining followers, as evidenced by a video Muise posted on Facebook on Friday about the cellular service blackout in Atlantic Canada.
